What is Medical Coding?

Medical coding involves translating medical services, diagnoses, and procedures into standardized alphanumeric codes.  These codes are used by insurance companies to determine coverage and reimbursement rates. There are two main coding systems used in the US healthcare system:

• Current Procedural Terminology (CPT® codes): These codes represent specific medical services and procedures performed by healthcare providers.
• International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CM) codes: These codes represent diagnoses and conditions that patients are treated for.

Why is Accurate Medical Coding Important?

Accurate medical coding is crucial for several reasons:

• Maximized Reimbursement: Correct coding ensures you receive the full reimbursement you deserve for services rendered.
• Reduced Claim Denials: Improper coding is a leading cause of claim denials, delaying your payments and impacting cash flow.
• Improved Efficiency: Accurate coding streamlines the billing process and reduces administrative burdens.
• Enhanced Data Analysis: Accurate codes allow for better data analysis, providing valuable insights into your practice’s performance.
